74 Delicious Instant Pot Recipes You’ll Want to Make All the Time

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine invited our family over for dinner. We are close friends so things are pretty laid back whenever we visit each other.

So it was no surprise when I got there that she hadn’t started cooking yet. She wanted to know what we wanted for dinner, and we chatted for a while.

Then I saw her pull out this amazing machine. She had decided she was going to make spaghetti with meat sauce, but her hamburger was still frozen.

And that is when she introduced me to the Instant Pot. Ever since I’ve been tottering on the edge of buying one.

Now, after knowing all it can do, I think I’m just about convinced that having one in my life would make things a little easier.

For those of you unfamiliar with an Instant Pot, it is an amazing pressurized machine that allows you to take food from frozen to cooked in only a matter of minutes. But it is easier to use (and less intimidating) than a regular pressure cooker.

Plus, it saves you a ton of time. Which is why I’m going to share with you some of the internet’s best recipes so you can see for yourself how versatile this one kitchen appliance can be and convince you to get one.
